Lu Chuan's eyes gleamed. The fusion of this fragment was crucial. Moreover, after some deduction, Lu Chuan realized that if he forcibly broke in to save San Niang, there would likely be uncontrollable changes. This surprised Lu Chuan, as with his current cultivation level, there were very few uncontrollable changes.

Moreover, this is also a major calamity for Third Sister. If she doesn't go through this ordeal, she will be safe, but there will be even greater tribulations to come.

After a moment's thought, Lu Chuan said calmly, "Never mind! Let's take on disciples first and face the tribulation!"

Having made up his mind, Lu Chuan naturally didn't linger and turned to leave.

And at that very moment,

A urgent and powerful voice rang out, "Help me!"

As the sound faded, the barrier shook; some tried to break through, but failed.

Lu Chuan looked over and saw a middle-aged man trying to break through the barrier. His blue clothes were mostly torn, and he looked disheveled. However, the power emanating from his body surprised Lu Chuan. It was righteous energy, an extremely rich righteous energy.

"Save me! I am willing to give you all my supernatural powers and treasures!" the middle-aged man's voice rang out.

After he finished speaking, endless black energy gathered behind him, threatening to devour him. The power contained in that rolling black energy was something a middle-aged man could not withstand.

He had already suffered serious injuries, and once he was tainted by that black energy, he would no longer be himself.

At this moment,

Lu Chuan's eyes darkened slightly. It seemed that Third Sister's current condition was due to this black energy.

Before Lu Chuan could say anything or make any move, the black energy, while gathering towards the middle-aged man, also condensed into a giant hand, heading towards Lu Chuan, intending to absorb and devour him.
